I don't think that's ever gonna happen. As long as TT residents continue to recieve any form of assistance, Arco Management is going to welcome them, and let residents stay with open arms. What the smart thing to do would be, is to start letting some mid income families in, with no sort of assistance. That would probably take care of some of the structual and interior neglect of the towers if funds are properly allocated. I also believe Arco Management needs to be let go. All of the Towers looming problems can't be the fault of the residents. Anytime you have non working elevators in a Tower as grandiose as those, people need to be fired.
The first Enterprise Corruption indictment charges MARVIN GOLD MANAGEMENT CO., INC., (now
known as JANSL, Inc.), its President, MARVIN GOLD, its Vice President, JEFFREY C. GOLD, building
managers ANGELO SCUDIERO, DENNIS CHALEFF, FRANK GALIZIA, HUMBERTO SANTOS,
JOHN ABRAHAM, BERNARD EHRLICH, THOMAS HAGAN and STEVEN WEINGARTERN, and
co-op board member SHELDON LIEBERMAN. The indictment charges that these defendants, acting as a
criminal enterprise ("THE GOLD GROUP"), defrauded the residents and shareholders of 26 cooperatives
they managed of more than $1.7 million.
The investigation disclosed that MARVIN GOLD led the corrupt enterprise and received kickbacks directly
from contractors doing work at buildings managed by his firm and shared kickbacks paid to his employees.
JEFFREY GOLD (no relation to MARVIN GOLD) acted as the coordinator of the criminal enterprise in
splitting kickbacks between on-site managers and himself and MARVIN GOLD; the traditional split of the 10%
received from a contractor was supposed to be 5% for the on-site manager and 5% for "the office," i.e. the firm's
hierarchy. For example, at Taino Towers, a HUD Section 8 subsidized low-income residence located in East Harlem,
Manhattan, MARVIN GOLD and JEFF GOLD received kickbacks totaling almost $200,000. At Dayton
Towers, a large apartment complex in the Rockaways, Queens, which was developed under the Mitchell-Lama
program with a low interest HUD mortgage, the kickbacks paid to defendant ANGELO SCUDIERO, and
shared with others in the GOLD criminal enterprise, amounted to over $1 million.
I am scratching my head. For SOME reason, the name TAINO TOWERS seems familiar but I have never ventured above 118th St. in East Harlem???? Perhaps I read something long ago when it was first built or perhaps I am mixing it up with the mixed disabled-deaf-poor tower in the East Village called TANYA TOWERS...I'm confused.
For anyone who wants some info, then and now on the joint, here's a good couple articles:

as far as the interior of the apartments, i've heard different. a lot of people say the apartments are beautiful, with great views. i've heard a lot about poor maintenance, and during the winter, heat problems plague a lot of the units.
recently perused taino towers. they're renovating the elevators. it wasn't as hoodtastic as i thought it would be. i need to see the inside of an apartment.
is this completely true on how they are treating the towers. do they really **** in the hallways ?
i didnt see that when i went. they really need to work on the exterior of the towers, bring em back to life.
